Welcome to your Surf City cottage, tucked away in one of the most desirable and walkable banana belt locations of Santa Cruz. Living in this sunny, and peaceful neighborhood you will enjoy year-round gardening and the soothing sounds of birds all around. This cottage is nestled in a hidden spot, away from the hustle and bustle of tourists, yet steps away from the best local restaurants, shops, and services this beach town has to offer. Just a quick bike ride to local beaches, harbor, and secret swimming holes. Nearby hiking, biking, archery, and disc golf. Great schools, top-notch grocery stores with locally grown produce, and parks all within walking distance. You’ll love the close proximity to ocean overlooks, ideal for morning coffee, and the Rio Theater for live shows. Enjoy a flat, bike-friendly neighborhood with tree-lined streets, where pride of ownership and community spirit thrives. Just a 5-min drive to downtown, with easy access to HWY17 and the beautiful Redwoods in San Lorenzo Valley. Live where nature and convenience meet, in a peaceful, welcoming neighborhood. Artist studio is approx 352sf. Tenants have been given notice. Some photos are prior to tenants. Property needs TLC but is an unpolished gem for its next lucky owner. Only being shown during open houses.
